I better call them... This is no time to act cool! NAOMI! YUKA! GET OVER HERE!!

No way! Can't they hear me!? ...There is no reason to fear us.

Music: None

...Have...you too...been dragged down here? Y...you can talk!? ...Obviously so. Y...yeah. We were dragged down here... I have no idea why... Wh...what are you guys? ...What are we? That's a good question. To put it simply, we are no longer living. ...

...Then we'll tell you. *ahem* ...You have all been trapped down here by a female spirit.

*sobs* I...got trapped... I couldn't save... Naomi... Instead of me, she... she... Settle down, Yuka. Let it all out slowly. *hic* I...got trapped inside the stall... And then... even though I called for help... I couldn't...

I was so scared... I screamed... All of a sudden, Naomi was next to me, and she threw me out... Naomi told me, "Hurry! Run away!" She...she took my place and now she's trapped!

Even though there are more important things to worry about, we check the note on the desk again.

What the hell!? Was the code before meaningless!?

I'm pretty sure the code on that note really is meaningless, unless it's a really obtuse solution to some puzzle that's easier to solve by intuition than figuring out what the diagram is supposed to represent.

Anyway, we charge out of the room.

Naomi!? Can you hear me!? Hey, Naomi! The walls are about to crush us! H-HEEEEEEELP!

That looks like a piano key. I remember my teacher showing me one in music class. A piano key?

After picking up the key, we head for the door, but Yuka interrupts us.

Big brother... What's up? ...

... Then the door slammed shut and we couldn't get out... W-Who did it? Someone outside had to trap us. You think... Naomi did it? No! Naomi saved me back at the toilets! Naomi could never do that to me. Yeah. She'd never do that. She's never betray us like that. Never!

...HUH? What do you mean "like"...? Don't play dumb, tell me. Umm... There is a boy...I like...in my class. Oh? Are you two already going out? Big br-brother! I don't have to tell you something like that! Besides... There's no way I can ask someone out. I'm way too shy... Hahaha. Hang in there, Yuka. Just remember, all it takes is those three little words.

No matter what I do, all she does is yell at me... But now... I don't care if she punches me in the face. I don't care if she tells me, "I'm SO sick of you!"...I don't even care if she rejects me. Heh, she can be annoying, but... Now that she's gone, I feel like curling up and dying. ...

Naomi is alive here somewhere. There's no way, absolutely no way she could have died. ...Yeah. Come on, let's go. Big brother...

And after this scene, we head down to the piano.

In Naomi's absence, Yuka plays it.

The game proceeds as usual. Yoshiki and Ayumi's half remains completely unchanged.

We arrive in the underground passage and head south.

Naomi! Naomi, you're okay?! Thank God you're okay! I mean, I was fine. But Yuka just about had a heart attack! ... (Why is she silent?) ...? Naomi...?

KYAAAH! Na...!! N-NO WAY...! TH-THIS CAN'T...!! ...

NO! ...NOOOOOOOOOOOO! GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Yuka... did you see that? A... ghost...? That...was what took over Naomi... She had Naomi? As...you saw... She killed her. No! ...No! Let's go, Yuka. I'm gonna tear her head off!

...You're wrong, Satoshi. Yoshiki...? Shinozaki...? You're...wrong. That ghost...didn't do a thing to Nakashima. Heeheehee. ...? We did it. We're the one who killed her. AHHA!

...!? I told her to back off! I told her to stay away from you!! That condescending, little worm! She decided to cop an attitude! She got what was coming to her! Shinozaki... you!? Come on, let's do some house cleaning! Time to throw away this untidy pig like week-old trash!

Ayumi hefts Naomi's body over her head...

...and tosses it into the chasm.

What do you think you guys are doing?! It's simple. WHAT!? The answer to everything's simple. That ghost told us so. Some may call the deal "killer." We off you three, and we purchase our freedom. Though she said, "just the two of us"...

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAH! KyiiiiiIIiiIIiiiIIiiiii!! Come on, Mochida. We can change the deal to just us two.

Are you... really Shinozaki? Hm? Of course it's me, Ayumi. Heeheehee... Heeheehee... Aw, you frustrated? Sad your "little bunny" got slaughtered? Mortified that such an act was committed by a friiiiiend?! Eheee~ I knew... I knew all about your little crush on Nakashima! ...

Even though you meant nothing to her! AND YOU MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME! So you killed her!? Because you're selfish?!

How DARE you...!

Music: None

Friends... don't do this to each other. Please... open your eyes! I... I'm...

Yuka, we're siblings... I'm sorry... ... Isn't our bond of blood stronger than that of lovers? Through the good times and the bad, we're always there for each other and know how the other is feeling. ...Yuka. We know each other better than anyone. ...Big brother. I love you, Yuka. ...Thank you. *sniffles*

Yuka closed her eyes slowly...and never opened them again. Her small body curled up, as if she were sleeping...and became cold. ...Yet she looked happy. As if she were being gently put to bed by a loving mother. When I think about it, I guess my life's goal was to be the best big brother I could ever be... It was always the thing at the forefront of my mind... But I lost both Naomi and Yuka. Now, I have to wonder... What the hell am I living for?

Polite of them to clean up Yuka's body and bloodstains before leaving even though there was a time limit.

As soon as we enter the door, the credits roll. There's no "run forward without looking back" segment, and no appearing in the classroom.

Yuka... Yuka stopped by to drop off an umbrella, then went over to a friend's house to spend the night...

"Oh? That girl.. the least she could do is give her dear old mother a call! Jeez... We'll have to ground her when she gets home, won't we, Dad?"
"...Hm? Oh, oh yeah. But I'm sure she's fine."
"That's not the point! Kids can't just do whatever they want while their parents are having a heart attack!"

...

I went up to my room and plopped down on my bed. I stared at the ceiling. Wondering what the hell I was gonna do. I glanced over at my desk and saw a small wrapped up package there...

What's this?

I opened it up and a small note fell out... Only one line was written on it...

Music: None

Suddenly, I heard a knock from Yuka's room. Yuka's bedroom is attached to mine; you couldn't enter her room without going through mine. It was a quirk of this old house's design. So...there shouldn't be anyone knocking from there... I peeped into the keyhole... On the other side...was a familiar eye.

I try to run out of my room. With my hand on the doorknob, I start to open my door, but... The doorknob seems to be little more than decoration... And I hear that knock from Yuka's room again. I almost fall into panic, but...I recall Naomi's last appearance... I wonder how she felt...when she died instead of Yuka...?

I let go of the doorknob and collapse... How could I have been so selfish? I never put myself on the line...

Suddenly, the door opened... and the room filled with light. As I look up, I see a familiar figure. A figure that I'd recognize in an instant. And as I looked over my shoulder...
